My Turn

Today so many people are close-minded. They don't even take the time to listen to
someone. I should know, I used to do that myself. Eventually a time came when I was
able to question everything in my world, and the only way to get real answers is to be
open-minded enough to hear what the truth is.

I'm not writing this inform the world of what I think the truth is. I'm writing this in
hopes that maybe we all can look at ourselves a little closer and see where we stop lis-
tening. I did it all the time when I was in high school. I never listened and always
expected everyone else to hear what I had to say.

Now I see atheists doing everything they can to keep religion out of schools. Or
churches doing everything they can to keep evolution from being taught to children.

This problem goes far beyond just religion or scientific theories, into all kinds of
things that people blind themselves to. If something is true, then why be afraid to know
or understand it?

I've found that the reason I was so scared to hear anything different than what I
believed was because I was, at heart, scared I might be wrong.

Some people would rather live their lives believing a lie, than rather even consider
that something they hold to be true could be false.

I say let's stop being afraid, and know the truth.

Opinions of the worst kind, about:

She Said

Opinion by Shila Young

Indecision

I have yet to meet a guy who can make a decision
on his own, especially in a relationship. Girls, men
think we are too indecisive... well, let me tell you they
are no better. Picture this scenario:

1 ) Man - Where do you want to go eat?

2) Woman - 1 don't care, where do you want to go?
3)M-O.K. let's go here!
4) W - No, let's go here!

M- No, I don't want to go there. . . This could go on for
hours and you wind up sitting at home eating bologna
sandwiches. Why can't the guy just say c OK we're
going to go here because we went here last night'?
Now come on, a relationship is based on compromise
so why is it a blame game all the time? He said this or
she said that. Even what movie to pick on a Saturday
night winds up being WW III Granted, you won't
know everything about someone right off. ..That takes
some time but if you are in a serious relationship then
you should know the basics. So stop worrying so
much. If you honestly care about us as much as you
say you do, then sometimes you wouldn't have to ask
what movie we want to watch or what restaurant we
would like to eat at. You should be capable of making
a confident decision without worrying about us getting
upset.

Pursuit

Whatever happened to a true gentleman who called
you up and held a door open for you or even came and
picked you up at your house? And no, I don't mean sit-
ting outside honking the horn waiting for us in the car.
I know it sounds so Cinderella, Prince Charming make
believe, right? Well OK, what girl isn't waiting for her
Prince Charming? I know I am and there are a lot of
girls out there who are like me. So, come on guys, put
a little effort in getting our attention. We like a guy
who actually takes the time to pursue our attention.

Matt's Reply: Compromise... what a wonderful word. For people who know their significant other well enough,
compromise is an applicable tool. However, it seems most women's view of compromise includes men using their
telepathic powers to read minds and then telling them where they want to go. Until we evolve to the point of telepa-
thy, you have to communicate with us. As for finding that special someone to disagree with, the only reason
women can't find Prince Charming is because they look at the pretty boys and don't see the frog underneath. The
guys who have no problem taking the initiative are the jerks honking outside your house. The true Prince Charming
is the nice guy in the corner who can't seem to say anything, but that's because he is in awe of your beauty.
Remember the story "Beauty and the Beast"? The Beast wasn't Brad Pitt, but he was the best thing in Beauty's life.

Indecision and Pursuit

He Said

Opinion by Matt Hahn

Indecision

Ninety percent of my relationships have been
scarred with a frightening fact: I will have to make
every single decision. Not that I mind too much
because it means I tend to get my way. However, the
general pre-dinner conversation goes much like this:
1 )Woman: Let's go out to dinner.
2)Man: Okay, where should we go?
3)W: I don't care. ..you decide.
4)M: What about (insert restaurant)?
5)W: No, I'm not in the mood for (said restaurant).

Now, return to step two and repeat until sufficiently
infuriated. WHY? Why can't women just say what
they want instead of making us play 20 questions?

Tell you what. Instead of making me name them,
here is a list of every restaurant in town. You look
through it, decide where you want to go and then come
get me. I'll be in the back yard pulling out my hair and
having a civil conversation with the dog.

Pursuit

Yes, I know it's traditional for the man to take the
initiative and pursue the woman. However, if you want
to get technical, it's traditional for the woman to be in
the kitchen, but things have changed. Women have
been and continue fighting for equality. What they
don't take into account is the balance. You can't have
all the bonuses of being equal without having down-
falls. Since we are equal, we get to share everything.

Now, you don't have to stand across the room won-
dering if we saw your shy glances. Just walk up and
say, "Hi." Heck, you could even invite us out to
dinner.

No one knows how much I have spent on meals to
kick-start a conversation. On top of that, many women
enjoy the meal and leave having had no interest in me
in the first place. Come on, I enjoy a good chase as
much as the next man, but I'm getting poor.

Shila's Reply: O.K. my partner in crime may have a point on the whole dinner scenario however, like I said in
my statements, if guys cared about us they wouldn't have to always ask what we really wanted. Compromise is a
wonderful word but guys don't seem to understand the meaning. Now call me crazy and old-fashioned if you
want... but I think that the man should do the pursuing. A lot of women like the chivalry act. While it was once
considered improper for a girl to call a guy, that's not the case anymore. While a girl can call a guy, the man
should be the one to step up to the plate.

Time to Sc

As this chapter of my life at BCCC comes

to an end and a new one begins , looking

back over the past two years, I find

that Butler has made more of an impact

on my life than I thought.

I originally decided to
I come to BCCC because I

wasn't quite ready for a big
university and I was offered a
scholarship on the Grizzly
Magazine staff to do what I
love, photography and writing.
From this, I have learned
procrastination is not a good
thing, and it has helped me
become more experienced in
what my career might be later
on in life. I was also given the
opportunity to work with the
Athletes and Special Needs
students in the Advising office
as a tutor. This job opened my
eyes to what being patient
really means, that there are
many other people who wait
till the last minute to get
something done and also to

Story and Photos t

%J oyful, exhausted,
anxious, confused, excited and
scared are all the emotions I
am feeling as I say goodbye to
my time spent at BCCC.
Ironically, these were my exact
feelings two years ago as I
decided what my next step
would be after high school.
Two years, where did the time
go? As much as I want to
leave (and believe me I want to
go very far away from here), I
have become comfortable in El
Dorado, and I must admit that
it has become like a second
home to me.

Coming from a graduating
class of 35 people, from little
Pretty Prairie, I thought 'Wow,
how am I ever going to make it
in the 'city' of El Dorado?'
Given time, I learned that the
only thing I really needed to
know was where Central Street
was. I have experienced dorm
life, cafeteria food, late nights
studying, late nights doing
everything but studying, going
to Wal-Mart for no reason,
eating pizza for breakfast,
lunch and dinner (all in the
same day), taking naps
whenever possible (sometimes
in class) and meeting people
who I know have become my
lifelong friends.

SupriSS! A group of friends suprised me and
decorated my house on my birthday this year. I
had no idea that they were planning it.

SOLlth Padre! Us girls and Noah Morford
never ever assume things about wait on our food at a yummy barbecue place at
anyone or anything. My peers South Padre. Sophomore year we went to South
have taught me things in more Padre Texas M s P rin S Break
ways than one, about school,
friendship, life and, most
importantly myself.
I have grown in
knowledge, self-assurance and
a sense of who I really am. It
has brought out things in me
that I didn't even know were
possible and helped to focus
on things that I already had.
But that is what college is all
about; experimenting and
finding out who the person is Around and Around Last year roller

that you look at in the mirror skating was a part of the homecoming activities,

held at the rink in El Dorado. It was funny to see
all the people our age skating around in a circle.

things that I have done that I
am not so proud of and things
that I really have a lot of
pride for. One major thing I
have noticed here is that
people rarely judge you,
because they too are in the
same situation in trying to
figure out what they are
going to do in the next step
of their own lives.

I have laughed, cried,

that I put myself in, because
regret is a useless emotion.
It is a chapter in my life that
has already been written and
it has helped me learn from
my mistakes and failures but
also from my accomplish-
ments and good deeds.

I know that I will take all

crazy and stressed out but
there has always been
someone there to help me
not become discouraged
when something went
wrong, or shared in my
triumphs when I succeeded.
Whether it was a teacher,
boss, friend or even a
stranger, I knew I was never
alone to experience
cicumstances that were out
of my control or ones I had
control over. I will never
regret anything that has
happened in these two years;
choices, friends or situations

accomplish, learn and
experience in the next place
I decide to go. With no
doubt in my mind, I know
that when I look back on
the two years I have spent
here, I will always feel that
BCCC and the people along
the way have helped me
become who I am and,
most importantly, who I

The Lantern has existed in other forms but became
a weekly in 1966. It's put out thousands of editions
and been through many advisers and countless staff
members. The paper undergoes changes every year to

step up the quality of what the people on campus see
and read. But even though all these changes occur, the
goal remains the same.

and later an adviser for the Lantern, says, "The
Lantern has tried to be an independent newspaper.
Any good newspaper serves its community."

There was a time in which the administration and
the students who ran the paper were nearly at war with
one another, but now things are a lot better.

"We had tense times between the administration
and the paper," Dr. George says.

Jane Watkins, who was an adviser for the Lantern
1 6 years ago, pointed out how passionate the students
on staff were. She says the students were "good writ-
ers, and good thinkers."

Today, the administration and the students who
work for the Lantern have a good relationship, accord-
ing to both parties.

Freda Briggs is the current advisor for the Lantern.
She has been the adviser for six years.

There are always ongoing changes.

Briggs says, "When I came six years ago we were
still printing our own photos, then we used negatives
and now it's mostly digital."

"Technology is the main change," says Briggs.

Even though there have been a lot of changes and
many upgrades, the job of the newspaper remains the
same.

"The role of the newspaper has two parts: One is
news and information to service the campus and its

public forum; two, it is a learning laboratory for jour-
nalism students," Briggs says.

The goal that Mrs. Briggs has made for the students
to learn is to work together as a team and to meet
deadlines, and finally to tolerate others in a stressful
situation.

Shelley Straub, a sophomore from Wichita, is man-
aging editor of the newspaper today. She has been
working in news publications since she was a sopho-
more in high school.

"It has definitely taught me a lot of useful things
and it has prepared me for any job I may hold in the
future," she says.

In spite of everything the paper has gone through,
the mission remains the same, to serve its community.

Mission Statement of The Lantern

The Lantern serves as both a professional news-
paper and as a laboratory experience for students who
are on staff. It is The Lantern's mission to accurately
repert the news, allow readers to express their views,
and to present issues and information that affect the
college and the community it serves.

"Movies and More: the Sequel" was the title for
the dance concert. Students danced to songs from
movies such as "Footloose" and "Dirty Dancing"
and music from James Bond movies.

Students have been working on the concert
since February. They work every day of the week
and sometimes the weekend. Karla Lloyd, Butler
dance instructor, says, "The dancers work really
hard and they are not afraid of challenges."
Lloyd has taught dance for 1 5 years and has been
at Butler for four years and she still loves it.

'"Movies and More: the Sequel' is a brilliant
performance." The dance concert was well
prepared and it showed!

j4\ age 44, LeRoy Gipson is attending
\y(y Butler for the third time and in the
t^r m j rc j field. 'The first time, I went to
learn how to work for others (in accounting), the
second time I learned how to make others work
for me (in management) and now I'm back to
learn how to run my own business," says Gipson.
He'd taken a few night classes in 1999, but his
earliest experience with the college began in 1974.
While attending high school as well as working
full-time, he only got three hours of sleep a night.
Getting his education was as important to him
then as it is now. However, many things have
changed since then.

When Gipson first attended Butler, the campus
computer was huge and ran on punch cards. Now
personal computers are used in most classes.
"Also, the parking lot was smaller... no radio
towers. I don't believe there was a maintenance
building, and only one dorm building," says
Gipson. As for one similarity, he says, "I had
Elmo Nash for Algebra the first time around.

"Now I'm here as a laid-off worker in a two year
Marketing and Management program with Jared
McGinley," says Gipson. "Diane Hobbie of the Kansas
Department of Human Resources and Gary Royse
[Academic Director] have also been a huge help," he
says of his success.

Using what he has learned at Butler and at prior
jobs, Gipson has gotten into a joint venture with
Tommy Howland of Flint Hills Irrigation in downtown
El Dorado. Having bought the machinery in April, the
company had little time to wait before acquiring sever-
al new contracts. The popular, relatively new service
and Gipson 's warm, friendly personality have no doubt
helped get the new hydroseeding branch going quickly.
But Gipson modestly attributes their success to "the
reasonable cost and efficiency of the process."

y^-pn February 6, 1995, a
fj/ Hutchinson News
^-^ reporter called 9 1 1 to
report on Paul Morrison's
death in a semi tanker acci-
dent. "No one could have
lived through that," he told
the operator. Then Morrison
crawled out of the truck.

Just north of Hutchinson,
the truck had been approach-
ing a set of curves when the
brakes failed. The liquid in
the tank - 9,000 gallons of
propane - had pushed the
truck and trailer over.

Eighteen wheels a-rollin'. Another tanker truck arrives to drain the
9,000 gallons of propane from Paul Morrison's wrecked tanker. After rebuilding
this truck and having his first experience with chiropractic care, he became
interested in becoming a chiropractor. He is now taking the prerequisite class-
es at Butler. (Hutchinson News photo.)

"The truck went two complete flips and the trailer
went almost two," Morrison says. "When it landed I
had been thrown through the windshield and was
lying on the hood. As soon as I had gotten my bear-
ings, I climbed off the hood back into the truck, shut
off the engine, kicked open the right-hand door and
climbed out. The first thing I did was check for leaks.
After completing my inspection, I finally lay down in
the back of (an onlooker's) pickup truck.

"Over the next several weeks I
rebuilt the truck. First we had the frame
straightened, put on a different cab and
hood, painted it then reinstalled the
interior. To the best of my knowledge,
the truck is still being used by the same
company for the same job to this day."

Surprisingly, Morrison continued to
work with propane for several years
after the accident. But now he is
enrolled in Pre-Chiropractic classes at
Butler and plans on continuing his edu-
cation at Cleveland Chiropractic
College.

"I had been interested in chiropractic
before, but after going to my current
chiropractor I decided to get out of
doing work that hurt my back and get
the training to help other people with
their medical problems.

"After leaving school in the early
80s, it's kind of scary going back to
school when you're getting close to 40,"
says Morrison. "But it's worth it."

aving spent 12 years with the U. S. Army
military police and five years working for
the El Dorado Correctional Facility,
becoming a police officer was the next logical step
for George Berk. He started taking classes at Butler
in January and plans on converting some of his life
experience into college credits towards his
Administration of Justice degree.

"For me, getting promot-
ed in my current profession
depends on getting a
degree," says Berk.

He believes Butler has a
good program for older stu-
dents. "I think all older peo-
ple who haven't gone to
school and would like to
should make the effort to go,
especially to a small school
like Butler where the teach-
ers actually care," says Berk.

His experience leading
DARE (Drug Abuse
Resistance Education) class-
es with the Wichita Police
has shown him the impor-
tance of small class sizes.
They allow for a lot of con-
tact with instructors, unlike
in larger schools, where he
feels students are "just a
number."

Class warfare? Paul Morrison
"gets a ticket" from classmate
George Berk. Both attend night
classes at Butler, and are in speech
class together this semester.

Opinion by Matt Hahn

Everybody gets stressed out. With the pressures and fast-paced world today, it's easy to get over-
worked. Especially college students who have school, homework, job and a social life to juggle. However,
there are some simple ways for anyone and everyone to get away and relax. Anywhere from simply laying
around to complete physical exertion, many things can help to calm your inner turmoil. So, let's look away
from this stressful campus and see what the world has to offer.

Massage therapy is one of the easiest ways to
relax. All you have to do is lay there and let all
your stress flow away while someone rubs out every
knot in your muscles.

The easiest way to accomplish this state of sub-
lime relaxation is to ask your significant other.
However, there is a downfall to this. Once your turn
is up, you must heave yourself away from your
nirvana and repay the favor. Also, if you are taking
classes for massage therapy here at Butler this defeats
the point. Remember we're trying to get away from
school.

So, what is left you ask? Well, you can always go
to someone that has already finished their training. I
would suggest someone that has been doing it for a
while so they understand the application. Things
such as where they should or should not rub if you
are pregnant or have injuries.

Another aspect to consider is finding a massage
therapy establishment that is honest and clean. Ask
around to find out the experience and reputation of
the place you have in mind.

El Dorado has several establishments to choose
from. Look in the yellow pages to begin your search
for relief.

For commuters from Wichita, the staff at
Therapeutic Body Care has been around for years and
has my seal of approval. For any questions, call
(316)652-0654.

No one can deny the calming property of having
plants around the home. The life they breath
into the room helps one to relax and the blooming
flowers add color and scents that can refresh the
senses. Also, recent research has shown some plants,
mainly spider plants, can act as natural air filters,
which adds more health benefits to the list.

Now don't go telling me you're one of those peo-
ple with a black thumb. All it takes is some informa-
tion, forethought, and two simple steps.

First, consider where you live. Which direction
do your windows face? If they don't face south you
will need to get a low-light plant. You can find out at
the nursery if a plant is high or low-light by reading
the information tab poking out of the soil. If the
nursery doesn't have tabs, the employees should
know.

Second, after you've selected your plant, look at
how much water it needs. You need to know if it
should be watered every other day or once a week.

It's that simple. So, get yourself a new plant, go
home, and relax.

Meditation has been around for centuries.
Whether in the form of prayer or as a way to
enlighten the soul, meditation has been helping indi-
viduals cope with and explore life.

In any form, meditation seeks to clear the mind
and help to view one's life from outside the confu-
sion. Traditional meditation is done in a cross-legged
position with good posture. Next is the hard part,
clearing your mind of stray thoughts. Have you ever
tried to think of nothing for five minutes? One tip is
to focus on your breath. Focus on getting your
inhalation and exhalation to take the same amount of
time. Practice will get you to the point where you
can work on using your chakra centers. Explanations
on chakras and other ways to meditate can be found
at www.meditationsociety.com

Yoga combines mental and physical relaxation.
After calming yourself, Yoga takes you through a
series of moves that stretch and tone your muscles.
However, not all Yoga is the same. Different meth-
ods have evolved over time to create styles such as
Ashtanga, Anusara and the modern Power Yoga.
Make sure you know which one you're buying.
Traditional styles are more soft and flowing while
modern methods are more apt to make you sweat.

Unfortunately, Yoga isn't commonplace. The
closest you'll find a studio is in Wichita. Barefoot
Studio offers classes every day and all their teachers
meet Yoga Alliance's standards. For questions call

One of the best activities to relieve tension is
martial arts. Imagine the punching bag is the
jerk at work or the guy that cut you off in traffic and
beat it until you can't lift your arms. That spells
relief.

Again I stress searching and comparing your
choices. Most styles are basically the same, but
teaching methods and application can make all the
difference in the world.

Every good martial art school includes sparring in
their curriculum. Sparring is a mock fight between
students to sharpen their self-defense skills. Many
schools use full contact Olympic style, which is more
realistic, but can be dangerous for beginners. For
those people who are squeamish about pain, point
style uses more control and little to no contact.

What if you end up staying in and want to expand
your training? Some schools offer only one style,
while others have a list to broaden your expertise.
Styles such as karate and taekwondo use strikes and
kicks while aikido and judo use grappling moves and
throws. Make sure you know what style you're get-
ting into and what you can expand to.

Butler offers Physical Conditioning/Karate 1 and
2 as part of its curriculum. The class is lead by Leroy
Rosebraugh, fifth degree black belt, and his assistant
Robert Collins, first degree black belt. Look on
Butler's Pipeline for more information.

However, what about when school is out? ATA
Black Belt Academy is the only nationwide martial
arts organization in America. It is family oriented
and has schools in almost every large city and many
smaller towns. This means, when traveling, you can
pick up your training exactly where you left off. For
any questions call (316) 686-KICK.

In any form in which you try to relax, do it safely and always keep it fun. As soon as it becomes tedious or
boring it won't relax you any longer, so make sure you choose an activity that appeals to you. Once you've cho-
sen an interesting past-time, list your options and weigh them out.

Dieting seems to be everywhere. If
you don't agree, just go pick up any
popular magazine, or try to avoid see-
ing a commercial for the next weight
loss product, program or miracle for
dropping those unwanted extra
pounds. Dieting is seen throughout
the mass media in all forms: radio,
magazines, books, newspapers, televi-
sion and movies. Perhaps it isn't always in the form
of an advertisement for a specific diet, but the idea of
having a perfect, ideal body is definitely emphasized.

Despite the fact that information can be found just
about anywhere, there still seems to be the common
problems of not knowing which diet to try. Which
diets actually work, and have long-term success?
Which ones are considered to be a safe and healthy
way to lose and maintain your ideal weight?

To start with I'd like to say that I agree with the
cliche that "true beauty is inner beauty." Looks only
go so far and eventually outer beauty tends to fade.

If building a person's character were stressed as
much as having an ideal body, there wouldn't be as
many eating disorders. "In the United States more
than 10 million people, 90 percent of whom are
women, meet the established criteria for one of these
disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa or a
variation known as binge eating disorder), and their
numbers appear to be increasing." This quote comes
from Health the Basics, a textbook used in the
Personal and Public Health classes offered at Butler.

I have had three close friends that have struggled
with eating disorders. I'm not blaming the media for
their struggles, but I do believe that it contributed to
them having a lower self-image. They were not satis-
fied with their looks or their weight. By constantly
being compared to "Barbie" figures and people that
have the "perfect bodies," naturally some people will
start to distort the way they see themselves. There
are all different kinds of body types, and it is unreal-
istic to think that everyone will look like the majority
of the people portrayed in the media. Maybe if socie-
ty would show and prove that looks don't matter it
would be easier for individuals to accept that inner
beauty is more important.

However, pursuing and maintaining your ideal
body weight is considered an important lifestyle
habit. This principle is taught in Lifetime Fitness
classes at Butler. "What weight is right for you?
This depends on a/wide range of variables, including
your bod^^Hrcture, height, the distribution of the

Dieting: Don
Your Inner

weight you carry, and the ratio of fat to lean tissue.
Weight can be a deceptive indicator. The United
States Department of Agriculture and the Department
of Health and Human Services devised one weight
table for both men and women that allows for varia-
tions in body structure, distribution of weight, and
weight gains in middle age. Weights at the lower end
of the range are recommended for individuals with a
low ratio of muscle and bone to fat; those at the
upper end are advised for people with more muscular
builds."

The chart will give a general idea of how much a
person should way, however Linda Clarke, Butler's
mental health counselor for the past 10 years, says,
"There's a body norm for everybody and often times
that doesn't fit within the charts."

There are safe and healthy ways for people to lose
weight. The key to long-term weight loss is adopting
a healthy lifestyle for life. However, sometimes this
is not one of the goals for the weight-loss industry.

Clark says, "Research has proven that yo-yo diet-
ing is detrimental to your health, rather than postive."

A yo-yo diet is when a person repeatedly gains
wieght, and then starves themselves to lose weight.
This lowers a persons basal metabolic rate (BMR),
which makes regaining weight even more likely.

Types of diets vary; currently, diets with low car-
bohydrates are one of the most popular diets around.
Diets that fall into this category include Dr. Atkins
Diet Revolution, Perricone Prescription, Neander-
Thin, Sugar Busters and other high protein or high fat
diets. These diets have 20 percent or less of a per-
son's overall calorie intake that comes from carbohy-
drates. The human body generally burns carbohy-
drates before it burns fat; so the idea behind a low
carb diet is to continue to feed the body protein, but
eliminate or greatly reduce the amount of carbohy-
drates so that the body is forced to burn fat. Even
though weight loss occurs in these types of diet, they
are also associated with the highest body fat in men
and women. "Although diets that deviate from a bal-
anced nutritional approach are almost certainly

flawed, most won't cause major health threats in oth-
erwise healthy people when used for short periods of
time. However, people who have kidney or liver
problems or suffer from fluid imbalances or problems
should avoid high protein diets," according to Health
the Basics.

Another popular weight loss method is a "miracle"
diet such as a very low calorie diet (400 to 700 calo-
ries per day). Some would consider The Grapefruit
Diet and the Cabbage Soup Diet, which consist of
less than 1,000 calories a day, to also fall into this
category. According to Health the Basics, "Fasting,
starvation diets, and other forms of very low calorie
diets have been shown to cause significant health
risks." These diets have been well documented to
produce only temporary weight losses and they may
lead to disordered binge eating or other related prob-
lems."

Probably the most common of the current popular
diets are the "low fat/high carbohydrate diets, which
try to balance the basic food groups. Examples of
this would be The Pritikin Weight Loss
Breakthrough, Eat More/Weigh Less, Mastering the
Zone, Life Choice, and Weight Watchers. Unlike the
previous types of diets, these diets follow a healthy
lifestyle that can be maintained throughout a person's
life. Body mass index (an indicator of body fat)
tends to be lower for people on high carbohydrate,
lower fat diets. Higher carbohydrate diets follow the
food guide pyramid, and they are higher in nutritional
quality. A sound nutritional philosophy taught in
Lifetime Fitness focuses on moderation, variety and
balance.

According to Covert Bailey (a video shown in
Butler's Lifetime Fitness class) there are four rules
that should be included in a target diet.

1. eat a balanced diet

2. eat less fat

3. eat less sugar

4. eat more fiber

disorder please contact Linda Clark at (316) 322-

ighting for Freedom

Operation Iraqi Freedom

Story by Misty Turner and Eden Fuson

*t 8:30 p.m. on March 19, the bombs began to drop on
Baghdad, targeting Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and his regime.

On March 17, President George
W. Bush addressed the nation
around 7 p.m. and gave Saddam
Hussein and his sons 48 hours to go
into exile. All this happened after
long, heated discussions between
the United States, the United
Nations and Iraqi leaders. President
Bush came on TV at 9: 15 p.m. on
March 19 to announce that the war
against weapons of mass destruc-
tion had begun.

On March 23, five members of
the 507th Maintenance, which is
part of the 1 1 1th Air Defense
Artillery Brigade, were ambushed
and held captive for nearly three
weeks by Iraqis. Former Butler stu-
dent Private First Class Patrick
Miller, of Vallev Center, was

among those. His duties included
welding, which he attended classes
for from spring of 1999 to spring of
2001. On April 13, the seven POWs
were rescued by American troops.
While some sustained injuries, all
safely returned to their families. Five
of the troops returned to Fort Bliss,
Texas on April 19, where they were
stationed at.

Around April 15, coalition forces
took control of Baghdad, while Iraqis
celebrated their liberation in the
streets. On the same day, a 40-foot
statue of Hussein was toppled in
downtown Baghdad after civilians
used a rope to pull it to the ground
where it was crushed to pieces.

As coalition forces continued to
maintain key Iraqi areas, citizens

began looting anything that they
could get their hands on. This includ-
ed money from banks and much
needed medical supplies from
hospitals. Women gathered in the
streets asking for coalition forces to
find their loved ones who vanished
during Hussein's reign.

The Pentagon ordered 77,000
body bags for the war, but United
States casualties are around 100 so
far. The cost of the war could reach
$200 million. The United Nations
says that ten million Iraqis could fac(
starvation as the struggle to rebuild
the war-torn country continues.

Meanwhile, the quest to find
Huessien continues, as more and
more of his accompli . osted.

War: The World Reacts

In Music

As it was during the Vietnam era, the music recently
released has reflected the times.

In the 60s and 70s, it was John Lennon's song "Give
Peace a Chance" and Country Joe and the Fish's "I Feel like
I'm Fixin' to Die Rag," that spoke of the strong opposition to
the war.

Since the possibility of war arose in America post
September 1 1 , once again many artists of our decade began to
repeat history by helping our nation get through the hard
times with words in songs.

It has been artists like System of a Down, with almost a
whole album dedicated, who spoke out strongly against mili-
tant operations in other countries. Their recent music video
for the song "Boom" shows actual scenes from Iraq.

Toby Keith, 3 Doors Down and the Dixie Chicks have
also expressed their feelings about war. The Dixie Chicks
were highly criticized for their comments about President
Bush, resulting in a drop in their album sales and even a ban
against their music and videos in some areas.

lation. I commend them and thank them for their
remendous service in pursuit of liberty."

At Butler

" I have some concerns about the war, but I'm trusting that
the government has things they know," says Sandy Dunn who
works in the Independent Study department. Dunn also says
she absolutely supports the troops and that we should have
gone to war ten years ago, because it's justified. Greg Ball,
who works with Dunn, says, " We're going to have troops
there for a long time. Everywhere we've gone, we're still
there." Ball has a son who is serving in the war, as it has
been throughout family history. David Mason, freshman from
London, England, says, "I am supportive of removing
Saddam from power." He also says the thing he fears the most
is the post-war era, because anti-American sentiments may
rise.

"When you hear Mother Freedom starts ringin' her bell and it

feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you,

brought to you courtesy of the red, white and blue. Justice will

be served and the battle will rage. This big dog will fight when

you rattle its cage. And you'll be sorry you messed with

It's 1:25 p.m. and I'm sitting in my friend
Jenny's dorm room. My stomach is a little
queasy from nervousness and I tell Jenny I'd
better go.

I wanted to be on time with my
interview with Janece English to show my
responsibility, because Janece takes her job very
seriously.

I had come to find this out from the last
time I tried to interview her at an unannounced
time.

So I made my appointment for Tuesday,
April 1, at 1:30 p.m. and the time had come. So
I get to her office. . .right on time!

She greets me with a smile and we sit in
the lobby and begin the interview.

Once I started talking to her I felt more
relaxed about the situation.

I wanted to find out more about this
woman who lived down the hall from me in the
East hall.

English was born in Wichita, and grew
up in Neal. She was raised on a farm as a child
and was involved in 4-H and school
activities.

In high school English participated in
volleyball, basketball, track, Spanish club, pep
club, forensic s and debate.

English has always been active in her
community in some way.

Currently she is involved in her church,
AAUW and Leadership Butler. Right now,
English is the Director of Residence Life for
Butler's El Dorado campus.

When asked how she came across the
job English says, "Someone had asked me to
apply and I was always taught that if you are
offered

something you can always say no but if you
don't apply you can't say yes."

Before coming to Butler, English was an
Upward Bound Coordinator and Interim
Director for Residence Life.

"Butler is a good place and the second largest
community college in Kansas. I felt as though the college
had vision and direction from the senior administrators
here. It is a growing college and a good place for stu-
dents," English says.

One thing that English particularly likes
about her job is the interaction with people from all over
the world. One thing she very much dislikes is waking up
to a fire alarm in the middle of the night.

"There have been several house fires around our
area lately which have resulted in young children dying.
And it is a big responsibility to make sure that everyone is
out of the halls in a case like that," English says.

There were a few scares from last semester
according to English. A few fire alarms have gone off in
Cummins hall because of the alarm system.

Living in the halls is a part of English's salary. I
was very curious to know what it is like for her to live in
the halls with a bunch of loud and rowdy college kids. It
surprised me to find that she actually doesn't think they
are very loud at all.

One thing English believes in is trying to have a
balanced life.

"I spend time on my job doing it to the best of my
ability and when I'm not on duty or have other
commitments I like to take some time away."

She does this by being involved in organizations
and in her hobbies, which are very important to her.

memorabilia that English has
collected.

English's hobbies include:
collecting John Wayne memorabilia, sports
(her favorite is football), traveling (San
Diego is her favorite place to travel),
spending time with friends, family and her
two dogs.

One of the most misunderstood
things about English is that people may
perceive her to be more serious than what
she really is.

While English does believe that if
you have a task then you need to work on it,
she also has a sense of humor and likes to
have fun.

The most exciting thing that she has
done is become an International Exchange
Representative for 4-H in which she got to
live in the developing country, Paraguay, for
six months.

She lived there with nine different
host families, some who had no electricity or
running water. There she worked on the 4-C
program which is the same as the 4-H
program here.

Sometime into the interview I had
run out of questions. She said she thought I
did a good job and I thanked her for the
interview and left.

A reminder not only to myself but to
everyone else is that you can't judge a book
by its cover, even though that's what some
people choose to do and even think they can
do.

Who would've known all of this
about English by just looking at her. And all
I had to do was spend some time with her.

This season has been up and down for the
Butler County baseball team. With expectations |
being really high, things have not gone that way
During the first part of the season they were
playing about .500 baseball and were trying to
get a spark, but when Head Coach Trent
Nesmith resigned that was a big blow to the
team. With Assistant Coach Brian Blessie tak-
ing over the squad, the play of the Grizzlies
picked up. Many players felt like Coach Blessie
brought a different attitude to the team.

Clint Mayer, freshmen from Topeka, says,
"He just brings a whole new attitude to the
team. He is an in-your-face type coach and that
is what we love about him."

With all this adversity, this team has shown
a lot of heart by not letting the season go to
waste. Many of the players feel like things
could get better, but, as of press time, they still
have the playoffs left for improvement.

One area that has to be consistent is pitch-
ing. Coach Blessie says, "We need other players
to step up besides our two horses, Clint Mayer
and Rusty Jones, and find who's willing to step
up to the challenge."

With the Grizzlies sitting in fourth place,
they're looking to finish in the top three.

"Every year this program should finish in
the top two in this conference," says Blessie.

how does one think this could go in the post

"I feel we can win the sub-regional and £

As the season comes to an end, this team
should be very proud of themselves going

verge of finishing in the top three in the con

team together

Tennis All-Arounds:

The Grizzlies kick off their last
tennis season.

Story and Photos by Josie Bartel

After a half a century of tennis at Butler, the
Grizzlies kicked off their last season on March 3 1 on
their own territory against Hesston. The meet had
some great moments, but also some very frustrating
ones for the Grizzlies.

The next meet took place on April 7, in which
wins came easily to the women, but difficult for the
men. Overall for that meet, the women came home
with a 7-2 win and the men came home with a 0-9
loss.

The team played Hutchinson Community College
on April 14 and Nationals were played over Easter
weekend, April 18-19. Nationals were a difficult
meet for the Grizzlies. The Nationals consists of
Butler County, Johnson County, Cowley County and
Barton County community colleges. Kera Harrod, El
Dorado sophomore, believes that every member of
the Butler team plays hard and well against these
three schools, which are all strong in tennis.

Even with Butler's large number of international
students, one thing that creates a challege for the
Grizzlies is the number of talented international stu-
dents involved with the tennis programs at the other
schools. Many of those students could have been
playing tennis since they were two, opposed to 12 or
later for many students in the U.S.

Sam Binter, head coach, mentioned toward the
beginning of the season that the team was young; in
fact, some of the top players are freshmen such as
Jon Hecker from Towanda.

This spring season was the last season of tennis at
Butler. Due to the state's budget crisis, the tennis pro-

gram at Butler and other area high schools will be
removed from the list of extracurricular activities
available to students next fall.

"I knew the team was in danger when I started
last year," Harrod says. "The school considered cut-
ting it then."

Those seven freshmen on tennis scholarships: Jon
Hecker (Towanda), Stuart Singleton (Derby),
Jonathan Maugans (Valley Center), Matt Gladd
(Winfield), Amber Hefley (Hillsboro), Alaina Merlav
(Hoisington) and Mira Ticu (Germany) will be given
the scholarships that pay for books and tuition next
year and it is honored, even though they do not play
tennis.

Harrod said the tennis program was good for her
because it fit her schedule well and kept her fit. She
loved the fact that tennis was more of an individual
sport rather than a team sport. However, how well
she performed in her matches also affected the over-
all standing or place of the team. She knew that if
she lost, it was her own fault, not one of her team
members.

One of her favorite parts of the tennis program at
Butler County Community College are the bonds she
made with her fellow teammates. It gave her a
chance to meet new people that loved tennis as much
as she did. She got to know people, especially on all
the long road trips the team made to play other
schools in Butler's league.
